A few used the occasion to voice their political leanings.

For instance, WhyNot said: When you have half the people who do not pay taxes; when a third are on food stamps; when mentally challenged people (who cannot even read) are allowed to vote; when all you hear in the press are liberal lies; when 25 per cent (real numbers) of the people are out of work and home values lost to 2003 levels; liberals are still being elected. America is a country in decay. Thank you liberals and your social programs that destory human desire and responsibility to achieve. And thank you for corrupt politicians in all forms of ethics and morality. To the liberals go the spoils and these liberal politicans are soiled.

It is not news but her background is interesting. I wish her the best because she did not deserve to be involved in this scandal.

The reporter was chided by those who thought her time would be better spent being a “real” reporter and writing “real” news.

She was defended by others who said that passing along these little water-cooler tidbits is an important part of the job, too, and that they like being kept in the loop.
